Mobile Home Social Security News The number of poor people in the country de- creased by more than 9 million from 1959 to 1966, notes Mo! lie' Orshansky in a report on the latest Social Security Adminis- tration study on poverty and low income. In ''The Shape of Poverty in 1966," Miss Orshansky reports that although the number of persons living in poverty declined from 38.9 million to 29.7 million in the period from 1959 through -1966, <*a larger proportion of the ooor in 1966 were persons whose earning capacity was Unit- ed by age, family respons- ibilities, race discrimi- nation, or other factors. Significantly 9.1 million persons were counted poor in 1966 although the fani- ly breadwinner worked throughout the year. Over a third of all children growing up poor in 1966 were in families of men who did work through the year * but couldn't earn enough to support them. While many were rising above the poverty line during these "seven years of plenty." the number of near poor those whose incomes are just .barely aSotfe the poverty threshold showed only a small decline, from 15.8 million in 1959 to 15-2 million in 1966. Without public income- maintenance programs. Miss Orshansky reports, the number of poor house- holds in 1965 would have been 15.9 million instead of 11.2 million. The social security program itself, she points out, was re- sponsible for keeping at least 3VJ million house- holds above th£ poverty Yet families headed by a man who works but is unable to make sufficient income can normally find "nt> avenue of aid," since public programs are mainly geared to serve those who cannot work at all or are temporarily out of a job. It is clear that new programs or extensions of existing ones will be needed to lift these , families of bread winners with limited earning cif>acity above the poverty line, the article concludes. For imny now receiving help from public programs, escape from poverty can come only with increased payments.

Signif icant ly 9.1 million pe r sons were counted poor in 1966 although the fani-ly breadwinner worked throughout t h e year . Over a third of all chi ldren growing up poor in 1966 were in families of men who did work through the year * but couldn ' t earn enough to support them.

While many were r i s ing above t h e poverty l ine during t h e s e " s e v e n years of p l e n t y . " the number of near poor — t h o s e whose incomes are jus t .barely aSotfe t h e pover ty th resho ld — showed only a small dec l ine , from 15.8 million in 1959 to 15-2 million in 1966. Without publ ic income-

maintenance programs. Miss Orshansky reports , the number of poor house-ho lds in 1965 would have been 15.9 million ins tead of 11.2 mil l ion. T h e soc i a l secur i ty program i t s e l f , she points out , was re-spons ib l e for keeping at least 3VJ million house-holds above t h £ poverty

Yet families headed by a man who works but i s unable to make suf f ic ien t income can normally find "nt> avenue of a i d , " s i n c e public programs a r e mainly geared to s e r v e t h o s e who cannot work at all or are

temporarily out of a job. It is c l ea r that new

programs or ex tens ions of ex i s t ing o n e s will be needed to l if t these

, families of bread winners with limited earning cif>acity above the poverty line, the art icle conc ludes . For imny now receiving help from public programs, e s c a p e from poverty can

come only with increased payments .
